After resting for about half an hour, Austin, along with Nathan, the Sect Supremo, and the gnome, made his way back to the
waterfall where the three-headed ghostly python awaited. Austin was determined to get whatever treasures it was protecting.
Since the python was extremely powerful to the point of being invincible, he had cup with a clever plan.
Before carrying out the plan with his three companions, Austin took out four green pills. Each of them took one without any
hesitation.
The green pill, called the Green Antidotal Pill, was an eighth grade pill dedicated for detoxification.
Austin obtained the pills earlier from the treasure storage of the Oracle Sect.
The red fog that the three-headed ghostly python released had now completely covered the area of about a hundred feet around
the waterfall.
Austin, as a pill refiner, easily discerned that the red fog contained an incredibly deadly poison. Anyone who inhaled even a tiny bit
of it would instantly be killed. Without a special pill to deal with its poison, no one dared to approach the fog. The Green Antidotal
Pills were perfect to protect them under such a situation.
After the pill took effect, Austin said no more words. He simply took out his Slaughtering Sword and waved it. A dozen or so streaks
of bloody sword aura immediately struck towards the back of the waterfall, where the python's nest was located.
Boom!
Hit by the sword aura, the falling water suddenly split into two and violent ripples appeared on the cold pool where the water
flowed.
"Roar!"
Ca loud and furious howl from behind the waterfall.
The enormous figure of the three-headed ghostly python, with heads as big as houses, immediately rushed out from the waterfall
and charged towards Austin.
"Attack it now!
But be careful not to get too close to it, just attack it from afar. More importantly, don't get too carried away in the fight. Once our
goal of luring it out of its nest is achieved, you should retreat immediately!"
Austin bellowed.
After he finished speaking, he instantaneously launched attacks towards the python using all four of his skills, the Timing Finger,
the Slaughtering Sword auras, the Bone-shaped Demon Claw, and the Flaming Swordplay Array.

His companions, Nathan, the gnome, and the Sect Supremo also launched ferocious vital energy attacks at the python.
The thunder unicorn roared
as it sprang out of Austin's elixir field, spurting out bolts of thunder arcs towards the python.
The positions in which the four of them stood was well thought-out; they were all scattered hundreds or thousands of meters away
from the waterfall, launching vital energy attacks from afar just as their master had told them to.
Austin was surprised to find that although the strength of the thunder unicorn, which was equal to human cultivators at the
preliminary stage of Tribulation Realm, was a somewhat weaker than that of Nathan who was at the preliminary stage of Heaven
Realm and the Sect Supremo who was at the medium stage of Tribulation Realm, the lightning arcs that it was spraying out of its
mouth were the ones that were causing the most damage to the python. As soon as the lightning arcs hit the python's boy, pieces
of its black scales would explode and disappear, exposing its scorched skin.
Austin figured that it was highly likely that the nature of the lightning's power happened to be greatly effective in subduing the
three-headed ghostly python.
"Roar!"
the three-headed ghostly python howled more loudly and more furiously. It was now completely enraged.
Whoosh!
It suddenly moved its huge body and finally left the waterfall, chasing after its attackers.
"Get out now!" Austin quickly urged as
he hurriedly flew backwards and retreated as fast as he could. He could not help but feel elated. His plan had worked and the
python had finally left its nest.
Nathan, the Sect Supremo, the thunder unicorn, and the gnquickly followed suit.
After chasing them for about two or three kilometers, the three-headed ghostly python suddenly realized what was happening. He
immediately gave up the chase and turned back towards the direction of the waterfall.
The fleeing team swarmed up again, followed the python from afar and desperately launched vital energy attacks against it again.
Their attacks landed painfully on the three-headed ghostly python's huge body. The lightning arcs that cfrom the thunder
unicorn were so powerful that it completely scorched the python's body.
The strong smell of its roasted flesh wafted in the air.
Although the combat power of the three-headed ghostly python was extremely formidable, it had one obvious drawback: its body
was too large. With its huge mass of a body, it was extremely susceptible to attacks.
The python let out another deafening and furious roar.
It was now even more aggravated than before by the continuous tormenting of the four. Its bloodshot eyes were as large as
lanterns unblinkingly glowered at them, looking as if they were about to shoot out fire.
Overwhelmed by its rage, it began to chase them around desperately.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Every fierce movement its huge body made produced an equally loud booming noise.
The noise it created was so loud that it could be heard by people thousands of miles away. It destroyed everything in its path; dust
floated around the entire mountain and huge boulders as well as towering trees were broken into tiny pieces.
Several grey shadows from miles away, took a gander at the mountain where the loud noise cfrom.
"What exactly are they trying to do? Why do they have to greatly enrage the three-headed ghostly python?"
"I'm sure they will eventually be torn to pieces by the three-headed ghostly python."
The grey shadows could not be more baffled. They could not fathom why the four would risk their lives in such a way.
Austin grew delighted when the three-headed python started to chase them farther away from the waterfall.
‘Here comes our opportunity!" he thought to himself.
He busted out his demonic energy to carry out his next action. Within a split second, he was blanketed by the evil aura that rushed
out of his body.
He then employed the Demonic Teleportation Skill.
Numerous ghost shadows and illusions materialized.
Whoosh!
With the sound, Austin disappeared.
"Don't engage in the fight too much. Just attack the python from tto tand hold it back for the meantwhile | go inside
the waterfall to fetch the valuable treasures," Austin told his companions through his spiritual sense as he used the Demonic
Teleportation Skill.
A few seconds later, from the waterfall on the mountainside, a whooshing sound abruptly rang out.
With a flash of the evil aura, Austin appeared in front of the waterfall.

Using the Demonic Teleportation Skill four times in a row, it only took him a few seconds to return to the waterfall from his initial
position ten thousand meters away.
Ever since Austin's absorption of the demonic energy from the demon king Robin, the amount of demonic energy inside his body
had reached a new level, making it possible for him to use the Demonic Teleportation Skill four times in succession.
Now that the python was out of its nest, Austin dashed into the waterfall in a flash.
Behind the waterfall was a cave.
Austin had no tto stop, so he moved as quickly as possible.
He had to hurry up as he didn't have much tleft.
He was quite aware that in any moment, the three-headed ghostly python would find out that something was wrong, making it
crushing back to its nest. He had to get the treasures before it returned.
Austin eventually arrived at the end of the cave.
He saw a quite open space there. It looked similar to a stone hall. Rays of bright light shone down from the cracks on the cave's
stone ceiling, making the whole place appear incredibly bright.
In a corner of the stone hall, there was a small pool that covered an area of less than three square feet.
The pool was filled with a milky white liquid, its depth about the height of half a finger.
Rich and fragrant spiritual energy wafted from it.
Right above the pool, there were obvious traces of liquid flowing through, indicating that the liquid in the pool was from
somewhere else.
'What's this?"
Austin mused, slightly stunned.
However, he knew that this was not the right tto find out what it was. He hurriedly took out dozens of jade bottles and filled
them all with the milky white liquid from the pool. After that, he carefully placed the bottles in his Space Ring.
Feeling delighted, he quickly looked around. Something at the other corner of the stone hall attracted his attention.
There was a small peculiar-looking tree about three feet or so. Its branches and its leaves were transparent and glittering as if they
were made of crystals.
It looked more like an exquisite ornament made of crystal rather than a living tree.
Austin could not feel any sign of vitality from its trunk. However, he did feel all sorts of wonderful yet bizarre aura exuding from its
branches and leaves.
